It's Thursday evening in Bergen, and time to enter the Skywatch Friday again. What better to do, than to grab a few shots from last week's Lunar eclipse?
Taking these shots was really hard, as I don't have a lot of practice, and the moon was far darker than i had imagined.
My first shots were taken with long exposures, but I soon realized the moon moved during the 20-30 seconds. It was only after I reduced the shutter speed to less than 5 secs I was able to get something useful.

Unfortunately it took a while to find the right combination of ISO, shutter and aperture settings. As a result of this, all my shots are from after the eclipse was at it's peak. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg64S8lMqhc8RLuQYD9blkFE7hjBhLuZOy4arQp7OvOTc8OwpcUZOx2W4E4A7Vl83A_-IcGqEa50NfHLx1gOgl1hRJ7V1kjzxuO-Jth2yIEo1Q7N5hbRIGO98bZntpQpMpCO5yerYGI89U/s200/swftom.jpg)
These shots were taken in the south of Spain, in a small town at the coast. Fortunately for me, there was little "light pollution" in the area.
